Hi Jorge!

I guess you mean this series:

    https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63893
    https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-patches/2023-06/msg00525.html

Those look good to me. I did not runtime-test it though.

Note: I don't have push access to `guix` repository and I don't use
`guix` on a daily basis. I mainly maintain `guix` install on top of
gentoo as defined in

   https://github.com/trofi/nix-guix-gentoo

I suggest runtime-testing it as well locally: try to install `nix` and
run a few commands like `nix-channel --update` / `nix-shell -p re2c`
just to make sure daemon is configured correctly.

Hope that helps.

Good luck!
